PHONETICS
Prepared by Juan Miguel Alcantara
SED 101

-”Phonetics is the study of speech sounds
and their physiological production and
their acoustic qualities” (Ladefoged,
2019).
-branch of linguistic that studies the
sounds of speech and how they are
produced, combined, described, and
interpreted through written symbols
(ThoughtCo, 2019).
WHAT IS PHONETICS?

-Phonetics deal with the study of
linguistic sounds.
-Phones are the speech sound. They are
represented with symbols depending
upon pronunciation.
-Phonology is the study of how these
sounds are systematically arranged to
distinguish the words from each other.
PHONETICS, PHONES, AND PHONOLOGY

1. The sound system is the basis for the
spelling system.
2. To teach English pronunciation to
students who are not native speakers of
English.
3. They may have to teach poetry which
requires them to teach poetic devices
that manipulate sounds ( rhyme,
alliteration, assonance, etc.)
WHY DO FUTURE EDUCATORS NEED TO STUDY
PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY?

4. To understand different varieties of
language and accents.
5. Provides a corrective because we tend
to “hear” the sounds of our language
through its spelling system.
6. Provides systematic and well-founded
understandings of the sound patterns of
English.
WHY DO FUTURE EDUCATORS NEED TO STUDY
PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY?

-focuses on the
physical properties of
the sounds in
language.
ACOUSTIC PHONETICS

-focuses on how
listeners
perceive the
sounds of
language.
AUDITORY PHONETICS

-focuses on how the
vocal tract produces
the sounds of the
language.
ARTICULATORY PHONETICS

-International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)
-was developed in the 1888
-consists of 20 vowels and 24 consonants
-provides a unique symbol for each
distinctive sound in a language.
WHAT IS THE PHONETIC ALPHABET?

-if we want to indicate that a letter is
interpreted as a phonetic symbol, we
enclose them in a square brackets [ ]
-if we want to indicate that a letter is
interpreted as letters from an ordinary
spelling system, we enclosed them in an
angled brackets < >
WHAT IS THE PHONETIC ALPHABET?

-Diacritics are marks that
are added to basic letters
to identify their distinction
in pronunciations
THE PHONETIC ALPHABET

-The orthography
(spelling) does not
consistently represent
the sounds of a
language.
WHY IS PHONETIC ALPHABET INVENTED?

1. The same sound may be represented by
a combination of two or more letters.
People Key
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN ORTHOGRAPHY

2. The same letter may represent a variety of
sounds.
Father Badly Many

3. A combination of letters may represent a
single sound.
Church Sheet Thanks

4. A single letter may represent a
combination of sounds.
Xerox

5. Some letters in a word may not be pronounced
at all.
Psychology Corps Knot

6. There may be no letter to represent a sound
that occurs in a word
Cute Use

-It is the study of how
our vocal organs work
to modify the airflow
from our lungs.

-to produce a sound, air must flow from the lungs
through the vocal tract.
-the vocal tract includes the vocal folds (vocal
cords)
-air goes through the nose (nasal cavity), and the
mouth (oral cavity).

-Glottis is the opening between the vocal cords.
-Larynx is also known as the “voice box”
-Pharynx is the tubular part above the larynx
-Nasal Cavity is the nose
-Oral Cavity is the mouth

- <p, b, t, d, m, n, f, v, s, z, l, r, h, etc.>
- Produced by almost completely
stopping the airstream coming from
the lungs.
CONSONANTS

-voicing
-manner of articulation
-place of articulation
CLASSIFICATION IN PRONOUNCING CONSONANTS

-Voiced sounds are made when the
vocal folds are together, thus creating
vibrations as air passes.
-Voiceless sounds are produced
when there are little to no vibrations
in the vocal folds.

PLACE OF ARTICULATION: GLOTTAL

-defines how the restriction of airflow
is made.
-A complete stoppage of air or only a
partial blockage.
MANNER OF ARTICULATION

-Oral sounds are sounds that
are produced with the velum
raised to prevent air from
escaping out the nose.
-Nasal sounds are sounds
that are produced with the
velum lowered to allow air to
escape from the nose.
ORAL AND NASAL SOUNDS

amount of time and released quickly.
-the period of blockage is called
closure.
-the explosion of air after the closure
is called release.

but do not actually cause a friction.
-[w] [j] [r] [l]
APPROXIMANTS: CENTRAL, LATERAL, GLIDES

-Central approximants let air flows
along the center of the tongue. [r]
-Rock
-Lateral approximants let air flows on
the sides of the tongue. [l]

obstruction of the airstream and always
followed with a vowel. [j] [w]
-Yellow Wood
APPROXIMANTS: CENTRAL, LATERAL, GLIDES

-Taps are produced by rapidly vibrating an articulator. [r]
-Grrrr
-Flaps are produced by a flick of the tongue to let air escape.
-Flop
MANNER OF ARTICULATION: TAP AND FLAP

-produced by moving air in the mouth between
various articulators

so on and so forth.
-Tsk
MANNER OF ARTICULATION: CLICKS

-<a, e, i, o, u>
-produced with a smooth, unobstructed
airflow through the oral tract.
-Vowel qualities are determined by
height of the tongue in the mouth,
part of the tongue raised,
configuration of lips, and tension of
muscles of the oral tract.
VOWELS

-classified by how high or low the
tongue is on the mouth.
-classified into three: high, mid, and
low.
-High vowels: [i] [ɪ] [u] [ʊ]
-Mid vowels: [e] [ɛ] [o] [ə] [ʌ] [ɔ]
-Low vowels: [æ] [a]
VOWELS: TONGUE OF HEIGHT

-Front vowels meant that the
tongue is in the front of the mouth.
-[i] [ɪ] [e] [ɛ] [æ]
-Central vowels meant that the
tongue is in the center of the mouth.
-[ə] [ʌ]
-Back vowels meant that the
tongue is further back in the mouth.
-[u] [ɔ] [o] [æ] [a]
VOWELS: FRONT, CENTRAL, BACK VOWELS

TONGUE AND PLACEMENT OF TONGUE

-Rounded vowels are vowels that
are made by rounding the lips.
-Unrounded vowels (neutral or
spread) are vowels that makes the
lip in its natural form.
VOWELS: CONFIGURATION OF LIPS

-Tense vowels are produced
with greater tension in the
tongue.
-Lax vowels are produced
with less tongue tension.
VOWELS: TENSE AND LAX

-Monophthongs are
pronounced with a
single sound from
beginning to end.
-Diphthongs are
pronounced with a
glide of combination of
vowel from beginning
to end.
MONOPHTHONGS AND DIPHTHONGS

-Non-continuants
-Continuants
-Obstruents
-Sonorants
-Syllabic Sounds
-Consonantals
MAJOR PHONETIC CLASSES

-Non-continuants mean that the air stream is
blocked off in the oral cavity.
(Stops and Affricates.)
-Continuants mean that the air flow is
continuously released from the oral cavity.
(All other consonants and vowels).
-Obstruents mean that the air stream has little
to full obstruction.
(Non-nasal stops, fricatives, and affricates)

-Sonorants mean that the air resonates in the
oral and nasal cavity.
(Vowels, Nasal stops, Approximants, and Glides).
-Syllabic Sounds mean that the sound can
function as the core of the syllable.
(Vowels, Approximants, and Nasals)
-Consonantals mean that there is some
restriction of airflow during articulations.
(All consonantals except glides).

-Labials are articulated with the lips.
[p][b][m][f][v][w][ʍ]
-Coronals are articulated by raising
the tongue blade.
[θ][ð][t][d][n][s][z][ʃ][ʒ][ʧ][ʤ][l][r]
-Anteriors are articulated in the front
part of the mouth (from the alveolar
area forward).
[p][b][m][f][v][θ][ð][t][d][n][s][z]
-Sibilants are articulated with a lot of
friction that causes hissing sounds.
[s][z][ʃ][ʒ][ʧ][ʤ]
MAJOR PHONETIC CLASSES: CONSONANTALS

PROSODIC/
SUPRASEGMENTAL
FEATURES

-Length of a consonant or vowel can change the
meaning of the word. As an example, the
Japanese language.
Biru [biru] “building” Biiru [biːru] “beer”
-Stress gives emphasize to a sound in a word. It
usually has a higher pitch.
REcord (noun) reCORD (verb)
PROSODIC FEATURES

-Tone languages use pitch to contrast the
meaning of words. As an example, the Thai
language.
TONE AND INTONATION

-Intonation languages have different pitches on
a sentence to determine its meaning. However,
the pitch is not used to determine a word.
“She is here” when said in a falling intonation
indicates a statement
“She is here” when said in a rising intonation
indicates a question.
